Baked Egg with Bacon, Asparagus, Tomato, and Extra Sharp Cheddar
I was in the mood for a baked egg this morning for breakfast. I looked in the refrigerator and found a leftover piece of bacon from my kids’ breakfast, some extra sharp cheddar, and a bit of asparagus from last night’s dinner. I also threw in a few slices of grape tomatoes because I love them with eggs. I served this baked egg with a toast to dip into the yolk. It was a terrific breakfast that filled me up and made me smile. I love the combination of flavors and I have a feeling I will be making this again tomorrow morning.
How to Make a Baked Egg with Bacon, Asparagus, Tomato, and Extra Sharp Cheddar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat two small ramekins with cooking spray.
Place a few bacon crumbles, a few tomatoes, a few pieces of asparagus, and a sprinkle of extra sharp cheddar cheese, into the ramekins. Crack an egg into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolk. Add 1 tsp of milk into each, a few more bacon crumbles, tomatoes,asparagus, and a little more cheddar to the top of each. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place onto a baking tray and cook for 7 minutes; Turn the oven to broil and cook for another 5 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

A superb breakfast Pam and it could even be used for lunch or dinner. Great way of using up anything leftover in the fridge, too. Eggs are so versatile!
This sounds like a wonderful meal.. anytime of the day!!!
Now how can anyone have leftover bacon?!
Yum. Certainly a breakfast that I’d love waking up to.
Have I ever told you that I love the way you think? You make the best egg recipes with your leftovers, Pam!
Yummmm……
This one of my favorite breakfast combinations and I really like your presentation shot.
A hearty and delicious breakfast!
Sounds like a wonderful breakfast Pam, and healthy too. I love pancakes, waffles , muffins, etc. but breakfasts like that make me feel so sluggish. This sounds like it would give lots of energy!
Great breakfast! And you always make your food look so pretty. Good thing you don’t have a house full of hungry men hollering at you to put down the camera and feed them already!
Yum – anything with bacon has my attention. Looks delicious.
This is a pretty genius breakfast idea, totally trying it in the morning tomorrow.. if I can wait that long!
I love meals like this that use up bits and pieces of leftovers that make something delicious! This looks really good.
I love, love, love eggs. And we have an abundance of sharp, stinky cheese in our fridge leftover from an experiment. This would be perfect! Thank you!
What a great combination of all kinds of ingredients I love.
i’ve become an egg freak, and this is a fine way to consume them!
This looks like the perfect breakfast!
Save some for me, Pam! Breakfast is my very best favorite meal of the day and yours looks delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing…
So many tasty mix-ins in this!! You always do such great things with eggs.
I can’t eat eggs anymore, but I used to love baked eggs! Have to make some for Andy soon…
Hi Pam,
I love baked eggs and this combination is just divine!
Cheers,
Lia.
Geez you may be using leftovers—a little of this and a little of that—but boy howdy it turns out to be rather elegant. In fact it would be a rather Ta Ta breakfast for guests with a really nice table setting and muffins in a cute basket, tulips or daffodils in a pitcher——speaking of pitchers—Mimosas in another pitcher.
